Several construction projects are underway throughout the Peace Country as the season winds down, and the County of Grande Prairie has announced one more road closure.
According to the county, construction on Range Road 53, 750 metres north of Township Road 714 to the Grande Prairie city limit is underway after beginning on September 17th.
During this time, traffic is expected to see some delays throughout the duration of the project. Officials suggest that speed will be reduced in the construction zones and traffic could be reduced to a single alternating lane, be temporarily detoured, or have rough, non-gravel driving surfaces.
Drivers are asked to obey all posted signage and flaggers, and exercise extreme caution when travelling through sites, especially when crews and equipment are nearby while allowing for extra travel time.
The project is expected to be completed by October 31st of this year, depending on weather conditions.
